#OscarsSoWhite: Academy Head Vows ‘Big Change’ Coming After Backlash

The president of the Academy Awards vowed Monday to take "dramatic steps to alter the makeup of our membership" after not a single person of color was nominated for an acting Oscar — for the second year in a row.

"I am both heartbroken and frustrated about the lack of inclusion," Cheryl Boone Isaacs wrote on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' official Twitter page. "This is a difficult but important conversation, and it's time for big changes."
